Each year in the month of December, we set up giving trees which display needs of local organizations our church has partnered with. This year, we wanted to bless the Lynnwood Department of Children, Youth, and Family Services (or DCYF) and Vision House.
The former organization oversees foster care in our area, and the latter provides homeless families with housing, support, and childcare. We asked our church family to donate gift cards which will provide those served by these organizations with meals and fuel for vehicles and meet other expenses throughout the coming year.
Each year we’ve set out the giving trees, we’ve been blown away by God’s grace shown through the generosity of the people at Sound City. This year is no different. We were able to raise over $7000 dollars in gift cards for DCYF and Vision House. Sound City, thank you for your generosity and living out our call to care for those in need. (Deut 15:10-11)
The giving trees have wrapped up, but join us in prayer as we consider ways to be missional, continuing to serve organizations like DCYF and Vision House throughout the year.
